This page was created to keep our family and friends up-to-date on Isabella's battle with brain cancer. She has completed her chemotherapy and physical therapy at NYU Medical Center in New York City. She has also completed her proton radiation treatment at Boston's Mass General Hospital. With her tremendous spirit and courage, along with all of our support, she will ultimately prevail.

About Isabella

From the day she was born, we knew that Isabella was a free-sprited, fun loving kid. She loves to do everything that a kid loves to do: play, sing, and dance. She is also extremely smart. Isabella has an older sister, Annalise, and a younger brother, Nathaniel.

On November 17, 2008, an MRI showed that Isabella had a massive 10 cm tumor in her brain, and it was promptly removed. It was diagnosed as a malignant glioma and underwent chemotherapy to try and remove the remaining cancer cells. She also underwent proton radiation therapy at Boston's Mass General Hospital.

We recently bought two new pets for the kids, sugar gliders, also known as sugar bears. These cute little furry animals are part of the marsupial family and come all the way from Australia. The attractive features they bring as pets are that they are clean, friendly, and need relatively little maintenance. We’ve had them for about a week now and are still going through the bonding phase, and we think they are getting a little more used to us now.

Here are a couple pictures and videos of “Oriette” and “Squeeky”, our new sugar gliders. (FYI, Annalise wanted to name hers Oreo because it was black and white, but since it is a girl, she wanted the name to be more feminine, hence, Oriette!)
